The Fell of Dark

Caleb Roehrig (Goodreads Author)

The only thing August Pfeiffer hates more than algebra is living in a vampire town. Located at a nexus of mystical energy fields, Fulton Heights is practically an electromagnet for supernatural drama. And when a mysterious (and annoyingly hot) vampire boy arrives with a cryptic warning, Auggie suddenly finds himself at the center of it. An ancient and terrible power is ret ...more

...and I thought that vampires were passé.
The Fell of Dark is a fun take that on vampires and 'the chosen one' trope. Usually, I'm a nitpicking reader but with The Fell of Dark I was happy to suspend my disbelief.
Is this novel perfect? Definitely not. Is it entertaining? Hell yes!
Our narrator and protagonist, sixteen-year-old August Pfeiffer, lives in Fulton Heights, Illinois. This small town happens to be a nexus for mystical and supernatural energies which is why it attracts so many vampires. August, the only 'out' gay boy in his school, isn't particularly fond of his hometown (mostly due to its vampire populace). In spite of the vampires prowling his town at night, his biggest concern is algebra...until he receives a cryptic and ominous message from a distractingly cute-looking vampire (who happens to have an English accent). Things became increasingly bizarre as August finds himself at the centre of a feud between different vampire sects, an order of mortal knights, and a coven.
This is a very plot-driven book and August can't seem to catch a break. For 'reasons' however he's the chosen ones, and the whole world depends on him.
August's narration is the strongest aspect of this book. He's a rather awkward and perpetually horny teen who also happens to be an incredibly funny narrator (laugh-out-loud kind of fun).
This novel's plotline is kind of basic but Caleb Roehrig makes it work. There is a certain self-awareness that makes up for the derivativeness of some of the storyline's components (for example, the fact that no one seems to be telling August the truth because almost a running gag).
Those expecting this to be a love story of sorts will probably be disappointed as this novel has more of a lust/attraction-subplot than a romantic one.
With the exception of August, the characters are somewhat one-dimensional (also, it seemed that every single character was connected with one of these cult-ish groups). Still, the role they come to play in August's story did hold my attention.
The world in this novel isn't all that detailed. A few characters occasionally give some exposition about vampires and their history, but that's about it.
This is an absorbing book. It has a lot of silly moments but I never found these to be ridiculous or unfunny. If you are a fan of Buffy or Carry On you will probably enjoy it as much as I did.

ps: I spent my day off work listening to the audiobook edition (which lasted about 12 hours) which...yeah. That was a new record for me. But once I started listening to it I couldn't stop (Michael Crouch is an amazing narrator).

Y'all, I had SUCH a good time with this paranormal YA about a gay teen who's possessed by a demon trying to incarnate on Earth. Our main character, Auggie, is wonderful and braver than anyone should expect him to be, and funny, and also very real and vulnerable. I loved how he was allowed to cry multiple times out of fear or sheer misery, and that was ok! There were cool vampire fights, a quasi love triangle I didn't hate (miracle!), and I was just about trying to prop my eyelids open at night s ...more

"It's love and hunger, a temporary truce, a moment where they both relinquish the past and choose bliss. Tonight is about us."

4.5 stars. The Fell of Dark is a delightful paranormal romp featuring my favorite actual love triangle (that was gay!) that I’ve seen in recent memory. There are two primary things I have to say before I get into the actual review: this has the exact vibes of the underrated Gen Z masterpiece that is My Babysitter's a Vampire and this, despite the marketing, is not a paranormal romance. Yes, there are cute boys and even cuter moments but this book is not a paranormal romance nor does it adhere to the specific expectations readers may have going into one. However, if you're looking for a YA vampire book that has the aforementioned vibe with an incredibly well written actual love triangle look no further.

Speaking of the "vibe" of this novel, I really liked how Roehrig embraced the campy and sometimes ridiculous quality of YA paranormal but also made sure to include darker elements that gave the novel unexpected layers of depth. There's a lot of juxtaposition at play in this novel, with moments such as flirting with a cute boy at a local ice cream shop coexisting with international vampire politics. Auggie's narration also contributes to this clever contrast. Lots of the events such as (view spoiler) retain their darkness but are colored a bit lighter by his quips and internal monologue. I feel like this book struck the golden ratio between high stakes paranormal and comedic coming-of-age, which is why it worked so well for me.

The worldbuilding of of this novel is also very well done for a story that could have easily been more vague with it. Roehrig creates a convincing world with well-drawn locations, factions, and paranormal creatures: everything is explained succinctly and there is a glossary of characters and factions that helps clears things up. In particular, I really liked how Roehrig created a large-stakes story and set it in a small town: as a result of Auggie's circumstances, there are several factions that either want to protect or kill him. All the while, Auggie is 16 and having to deal with mundane thing such as trying to pass Algebra while being under constant surveillance by these different group.

100%, the best part of this book was the characters. While I'll admit the supporting cast was a bit forgettable, there are three main characters that I would literally die for: Auggie, Jude, and Gunner. What strikes me about Auggie is the way his perspective and character arc is essentially a subversion of the "Chosen One" trope, but not in the way that you'd expect. His entire character arc in this novel is based on his desire for agency in circumstances where it appears he has none. As a result of (view spoiler), his life has become no longer his own to live (both physically and metaphorically). Watching Auggie grapple with this during the novel was fascinating and ultimately, so satisfying when he eventually did exert his own agency.

As for Jude, I'm a sucker for a character that at first appears to be nothing more than a stock cliche and turns out to have layers beyond what you could expect. He's introduced in a very stereotypical way, but Roehrig quickly fleshes him out to be more than just the hot British vampire with "sexy knees" (according to Auggie): his motivations are unclear at first, and watching his layers unravel was a highlight for me. He's also biracial, which yes not all vampires are white! Lastly, Gunner was an unexpectedly interesting character. His backstory of (view spoiler) All in all, these three main characters made the book for me in a way I didn't expect.

It probably comes as no surprise to you, then, that these three characters also were the three sides of the iconic gay vampire actual love triangle. Honestly, my desire to read this book doubled upon finding it out it had a true love triangle. This might be a tired/lukewarm take, but what people usually label as a love triangle are not actual love triangles but rather, is just one person picking between two people (a "Love V" if you will). A true love triangle connects all three people involved by having all three of the sides of the triangle love each other, romantically or otherwise. This book's love triangle is one of the perfect (but rare) examples of this wherein while August has to sort out his feelings for both Jude and Gunner, both of them also have to sort out their feelings for one another as (view spoiler) My two favorite scenes in this book are moments between all three of them: (view spoiler) Roehrig made use of this "true" love triangle and created a compelling, multifaceted dynamic that became the center of this novel and honestly? Iconic behavior.

Conclusively: I could not have picked a better book to read on my birthday. Please pick this up. I, for one, am now super interested in picking up Caleb Roehrig's backlog of releases and this is a beautiful, sharp-fanged addition to ownvoices M|M YA. ...more

Oh my god, who knew that all it would take was for vampires to turn gay for me to become absolutely obsessed with them again?

Quite honestly, this was the perfect execution of the premise. On the author's twitter, I read that he essentially pitched The Fell of Dark as "Simon Spier the Vampire Slayer" and it was about as fun, ridiculous, action-packed as you would expect. Caleb Roehrig created the perfect blend of drama that doesn't take itself too seriously, while also capturing the essence of what it means to grow up gay in a small town. Just, you know, plus vampires.

The writing captivated me right away. This is my first book by the author, but oh wow, it won't be the last. Auggie's narration was so clear and sharp, there were multiple moments where I felt catapulted back into my 16-year-old brain, and even more where I was actually laughing out loud because he finds himself in so many stange, unusual situations and acknowledges their awkwardness. However, I absolutely loved the more serious undertones. My favourite aspect was probably how Auggie's character was shaped by having to navigate his identity as a gay teen in a place completely devoid of queerness. Having had to come to terms and then live in a small town as a gay guy myself, I appreciated this nuance so, so much, and many of Auggie's thoughts definitely resonated with me.

But then, of course, this was the perfect book for me to vicariously live through a fictional nerdy gay teenager as he gets to experience what so many of us were dreaming about at that age - the type of story that for so long, only white girls were allowed to experience in YA books. And so suddenly, he finds himself in this kind of hilarious, kind of very hot love triangle/polyamorous relationship with two vampires. This simultaneously felt familiar, since it's a trope that has been done many times over with heterosexual pairings, but both the gay factor as well as the polyamorous approach made it feel so fresh and new, it was amazing. Also, it was by far not as dramatic as it might sound, there were no confessions of undying love or anything like it. Rather, the relationships served as a vehicle to show Auggie as a character that he is allowed to believe in himself, which worked really well in combination with the rest of the plot.

As for the actual plot, I really don't want to give anything away, because the synopsis doesn't actually tell you too much, and oh boy, there are many secrets and twists to be found in this novel. It caught me off guard all the time and constantly flipped the story on its head. Also, it was a lot more complex than I had expected. There's many different factions with different beliefs and motivations interacting here, and they were each established super thoroughly, almost to a point where I would think to myself, "Damn, this could have made for a neat trilogy." Then, maybe, we could have also had more romance, which, honestly? I wouldn't have minded if he had gotten even more of. The three characters involved had so much chemistry, I would have eagerly read 300 more pages of them just interacting. Maybe... maybe we can get a sequel... or something... maybe? I can hope.

Ultimately, this book made a younger version of me very, very happy, but present-me also fell head over heels for it. I can't recommend this highly enough if you like an expertly executed mixture of coming of age and fantasy. I hate seeing this being as underrated as it is, while other gay vampire books by problematic authors ( ~~Carry On~~ ) get all the attention. xx ...more

This story is very much a hardcore vampire book, it's got lore, politics, cult, history, etc. It's got so much more depth than some other vampires I've read, and it's in general really well done here. There're explanations for every aspect of vampire existence and co-existence with humans. By the end, we know how they appeared, the politics and hierarchies that govern them, how they generally interact with humans (with some exceptions), the motivations of different factions of vampires, etc. etc. etc. This world had so much depth and I genuinely enjoyed how well built this world was. I can see more stories taking place in this world easily. I also generally liked the plot itself, the mystery behind it, and I don't have any issues there at all!

I also really liked the characters for the entirety of the book. August/Auggie was a great MC, if a bit too horny at times, and I loved the love interests, August's friends, and the other side characters that they meet along the story. I also loved how queer this story was, and we got some really great m/m AND f/f rep in this book. This lead to a story that was overall fun to read, and I loved the jokes August made, his view of the world, and how he accepted/used/etc. his fate as chosen one.

There's literally no reason for this book to be 4 stars except for how frustrated the ending to the romance storylines left me. Honestly, if I were rating this book based on that alone, I'd give it a 2 or a 3. There was so much constant build-up, slow burn, etc., and it just never really went anywhere? The entire book was also so horny, so it was even weirder then that the romance ended with (view spoiler) It's all I can seem to remember when I think back on the book now, my frustration and disappointment.

All in all, I did enjoy this, even if that enjoyment was severely impacted by the ending of the romance. I loved (loved!!) everything else, which honestly makes it even more frustrating to be fair. I'll still be giving other books of Roehrig's a chance, but I'm still always going to think of what this could've been. ...more

The teenage characters acted like teenagers, and their friendships/relationships were incredibly true to life. I think Caleb Roehrig does a really good job of writing messy, flawed, realistic teenage characters, and I absolutely loved that. I also enjoyed the rep in this; I cannot speak to its accuracy, since I am not a gay guy, but as a lesbian, I'm happy whenever I see ownvoices queer rep.

Unfortunately, the realistic portrayal of the teenage characters, particularly the main character, was also a shortcoming of the book. Auggie is a sort of "chosen one" who is slowly being taken over by a sinister force that could lead to the destruction of humanity and a new age of vampire superiority. Sounds badass, right? The problem is, all these secret societies come out of the woodwork to try to take advantage of the rising evil. Virtually all important information is given to Auggie in paragraphs-long info dumps from characters that are part of aforementioned secret societies and are way cooler than Auggie. He just doesn't really do anything until pretty late in the game, which as I mentioned, seems accurate to a real teenager, but doesn't make for a very interesting reading experience. I can't help but feel like this book would be more compelling if it were told from the perspective of literally any other character. Normally I love and respect the Chosen One trope because it's so prolific for a reason, but in this instance, it was a swing and miss for me.

As I said, the characters are really good and I think if they had been placed in a traditional YA contemporary, I would have liked this book much more.
